Bug#644639: vim-gtk: Gvim crashes in tiling windows

[Anthony Campbell]

Package: vim-gtk
Version: 2:7.3.333-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


When using a tiling window manager such as xmonad or dwm, starting gvim
in a window produces the following errors when I try to close the file:


E852: The child process failed to start the GUI[xcb] Unknown sequence
number while processing queue

[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has
not been called

[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273:
poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.


After this, I have to kill the window to be able to continue.
This only happens with version 7.3 of vim. I compiled 7.2 and it worked
correctly.
